You'll learn how to assess whether you are financially and emotionally ready to trade futures and determine how much money you can afford to risk. You'll learn what leverage is and how it can be used to generate above-average returns without exposing yourself to too much risk, and understand why "fearing" the market is better -- and safer -- than downplaying risk.
